Jill Byrne's Handicapping

Metro Dreamer (1) ran a good race at Keeneland last out and should do better making the drop in class. Gauntlet (7) has put together some decent drills in the morning and looks ready to go first out. L.A. Freeway (2) can improve adding blinkers and coming into the race 2nd off the layoff.
